The document discusses data management plans for the Tropical Legumes-III project. It outlines the data management pipeline including data archiving, sharing, analysis and curation. It summarizes progress made in training partners in a cloud-based data management system and uploading datasets. Support planned for partners includes generating experimental designs, downloading field books and maps, and collecting and uploading data to the cloud system. Annual data analysis workshops and repositories for other data types are also proposed. Available support includes experimental design, data capture, curation, analysis, interpretation, and socio-economic data mapping and cleaning.

3. TL-III Data Management
Progress (Aug 2015 to Now)
– Partners Trained in BMS
• EIAR, Debre Zeit, Ethiopia (19th-23rd, Oct 2015)
– Credentials created
• Dr. Omari Mponda & Colleages
– 18 Data Sets / Field Books
• Dr. Babu Motagi and Colleagues
– 9 data sets
– Cloud Based BMS
– Similar to email account
– Access Data Anywhere
– Automatic backup
– Data Repositories
• Dataverse
• aWhere

4. TL-III Data Management Support
Planned
– Experimental designs generated in BMS
cloud account for partners (where required,
but communicated)
– Partners will be able to download
• Experimental design
• Field books and field maps
– Collect & upload data in BMS cloud
– Support on pedigree migration to BMS
– Data collected with geospatial tags
– Field photographs
– Weather data if available

5. TL-III Data Management Support
Proposed for 2016
Based on Resources available
– Annual Data Analysis Workshops
• With annual/regional meetings
• Ensure all data analyzed in time & reported
• Available for reporting and M&E
– Other generated data sets
• Farmers Participatory Variety Selection (FPVS)
• SNP etc. will be maintained in respective
customized repositories

6. TL-III Data Management Support
Available to Project Partners
–Experimental Designing
–Data Capture and BMS
–Data Curation
–Data Analysis
• Phenotypic (GxE, Spatial etc)
• Genotypic (GWAS, GS, Molecular
Diversity etc)
• Any other relevant to project
–Help in Interpretation

7. TL-III Data Management
Socio-economic Data
– Once data is made available
– Questionnaire will be mapped to a
spatial data base (aWhere or ARCWeb
GIS)
– Collected data will be cleaned &
maintained at Dataverse
